Spring 2019 (Southern Hemisphere)
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today’s Doodle celebrates the first day of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere!
In the words of the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, “Between water and light which unwind the air / Now the Spring is inaugurated / Now the seed is aware of its own growing.” A time of rebirth and renewal, for many, today commences a season of new beginnings.
Happy First Day of Spring!
